This is now the clash that confronts the Democrats. Paul Simon is struggling to parlay a close second in Iowa into political survival; Albert Gore is hunkering down in a hunting blind in the South, lying in wait for Super Tuesday; and Mario Cuomo still hovers mysteriously in the wings. But for the moment, the two contenders who ran first and third in Iowa will define the Democratic debate. Dukakis' opposition to Gephardt's agenda of get-tough trade policies and an oil-import fee is only part of the equation. More telling are their differences in orientation and outlook...
What I did on my summer vacation. Last month Mario Cuomo privately telephoned a few influential friends with a startling proposition: that a group of them get together and back a candidate before the Iowa caucuses. When friends said the ploy would be disruptive and unwise, he abandoned the idea. Now he is back to making coy remarks. In his continuing quest not to be a candidate, Cuomo let drop last week that if pressed he could conceive of running for President during his summer vacation, since Albany virtually shuts down from July to October.

True, but the demands of that kind of campaigning work against prospects who hold difficult jobs -- New York Governor Mario Cuomo is the best current example -- and pressure candidates to lavish attention on small, well-organized interest groups. In the actual caucuses, less than 15% of enrolled Iowa voters usually participate, and the reported results are sometimes misleading. Drake University Professor Hugh Winebrenner, in a new book on the caucuses...
...couple of pen-and-ink Easter Island profiles named Amy and Jordan, chronicled by Mark Beyer. Pantheon has just issued a collection of their tribulations in book form, aptly titled Agony (173 pages; $7.95). Out on the West Coast, the work of the brothers Gilbert, Jaime and Mario Hernandez appears in books bearing the title of the comic in which they originated, Love and Rockets (Fantagraphics; $10.95 each). Los Bros Hernandez, as they sometimes bill themselves, share a fluid style embracing both the extravagances of pulp epic and the flat-light simplicity of vintage Archie comics.
